EXCELLENT Based on 9 reviews RAHUL S2025-07-05Verified Experience the best of Sri Lanka Ruisha Tours was absolutely fantastic! They were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made the entire experience unforgettable. They had a great way of engaging with everyone in the group. The way they wove together history, culture, and fun facts was truly impressive. Had lots of fun…Highly recommend!" vlada6292025-07-04Verified Amazing 6-Day Trip We traveled through Sri Lanka in May 2025 (Negombo – Sigiriya – Kandy – Nuwara Eliya – Ella – Galle – Colombo), and had the pleasure of touring with Ruwan from Ruisha Tours as our driver and guide for 6 days. It was one of the best travel decisions we made!From the start, Ruwan was incredibly helpful in planning the route, suggesting great places to stop, visit, and stay. What stood out was that his suggestions were always honest — not the typical “I know a place” with hidden commissions. He clearly told us what might be worth visiting, encouraged us to read reviews first, and let us decide freely. That kind of transparency is rare and really appreciated.During the trip, he was punctual, polite, and always calm. He drives very safely (which is a huge relief in Sri Lanka’s traffic!), and the car — a Toyota Corolla Axio, exactly as described in the offer — was in perfect condition: clean, air-conditioned, and super comfortable for the long drives.Thanks to Ruwan, the whole trip went smoothly and was stress-free. He even helped us adjust our plan a bit during the tour to make things more enjoyable, and we had the chance to experience some local gems we wouldn’t have found on our own.If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and genuinely kind driver-guide in Sri Lanka, Ruwan is definitely the one. Highly recommended! Light i2025-07-03Verified Don't look beyond. Ruwan is a excellent guide, we have made a good friend. We wish success for your business. 100% reliable, they will cover every detail of your trip. Sean C2025-01-18Verified Highly recommended - amazing trip Myself and my wife had a 13 day tour with Ruwan and it was fantastic. Ruwan was more than we could have asked for in a driver/guide. We travelled all around central and southern Sri Lanka, and he gave us amazing tips on what to see and great insights into Sri Lankan culture. Ruwan was friendly, knowledgable, considerate, and always had out best interests at heart. He was always on time to pick us up, very happy to do extremely early wake ups (for Safari), very responsive on WhatsApp and genuinely wanted us to have the best experience we possibly could have. I would highly recommend him, and will be referring any friends or family who visit Sri Lanka. Moonis A2024-05-28Verified We can say; we have a family in Sri Lanka The best experience ever. It was a most wonderful and enjoyable time we experienced with Ruwan. He is a perfect guide, has driving skills and experience. I would recommend his company 💯 Steffen H2024-03-09Verified Great tour from Matars via Adam‘s Peak to Colombo airport. Chintaka was the best driver we could have imagined for our tour from Matara via Adam‘s Peak to Colombo airport.His car was clean, comfortable and a lot of space for my girlfriend and me.He drove with a good speed (a lot of cars go really slow in Sri Lanka), but with Chintaka you will be there on time yet also always safe. Chintaka himself is such a nice person, he genuinely cared about us, and made sure we got the most out of this trip, giving us recommendations on what to look at, when to leave to hike up to Adam‘s Peak and showing us some nice spots around Colombo.Overall, this trip was 5/5, would do again and highly recommend Chintaka as a driver. Aviram M2024-03-08Verified Trustworthy Driver Rowan was my driver for six days, while I was visiting Sri Lanka. Everything you want from a driver, was delivered!! Rowan was always on time , the car was always clean, His English was very good! And he cared a lot about the passenger. The same way he cared about his wife and kid!I would trust him with anyone of my family members!! Hayley S2024-03-03Verified Unforgettable two week honeymoon around Sri Lanka We spent two weeks exploring the south and west of the country for our honeymoon. We hired Chinthaka, from Ruisha Tours, as our guide for the trip. His communication was excellent, he couldn’t have been more welcoming and he was always happy to accommodate our plans even when they changed. But most of all, by the end of the trip, it felt like we were travelling with a friend and we feel so lucky to have met him. Overall, we had a fantastic trip and would highly recommend Ruisha Tours.
